Default Has anyone installed an Alcantara Shift ****?

I have seen a couple of people with the Alcantara Shift boot, but I am wondering if anyone has installed an Alcantra Shift **** on their B6 S4.

My only concern would be the Alcantara wearing because of dirty hands constantly touching it while shifting. Anyone have experience with this?

Default They won't fit...

Since those are reupholstered OEM ***** for the B5 (according to the replies in the post you linked to), I'm assuming they are threaded. Our ***** are held on with a bow-tie clip and the stock shifter stalk does not have threads.

They do look nice, though...

Default Couldn't the B6 **** be reupholstered as well?

We have to take the **** off to install a ss or a new shift boot so couldn't you simply get a new OEM B6 ****. . reupholster it and put it on?

Default Sure, that would work...

I just wanted to make sure you didn't buy one of those *****, assuming that it would bolt right on.

Either. I assume that they attach the same way.

Maybe, I didn't try yet. But it would be easier for sure.
